This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area for a nice dinner. It's a little pricey, but well worth the cost for the farm to table offerings. Dinner is only served on the weekends, however. It's about a 15 minute drive from our house.

This is a great place to enjoy a morning croissant and a cappuccino. In the summer, we like to sit out on the patio with the fountain and small pool. It's quite pleasant! This place also has a bar open in the evenings that's quite "fancy." However, I've never been there for drinks.

Great place for a quick lunch. Food is tasty, seating is a little squishy and limited. It's usually packed since it's a local favorite.

We like this place for lunch and also family dinners during week nights. They usually have a delicious salad and some pasta dish to choose from for their week-night dinners (closed on Wednesdays.) You can also get gluten free pizza here, although I've never had it.

Pick your own apples (and other fruit) in season at this wonderful family "farm stand" or visit the distillery for apple spirits.

Golden Harvest is located in Valatie, NY, a 15 minute drive from the tiny house.

If you would like to visit a quaint little village with some good places to eat and one of the best breweries in the county, you should check out the village of Chatham, NY. It has a few good bakeries and a variety of dining. There's also a movie theater and some interesting little stores. Small but good! I recommend Chatham Grill for a great burger, Our Daily Bread for lunch. Chatham brewing is supposed to be great. I'm not into beer, but friends tell me it's a really good place for brew.
